On PC-BSD 8.1 (KDE) I have four workspaces. I want to launch rdesktop 1.6 in one of them, full screen if possible (I'll settle for nearly-full in a window if I have to), and be able to do the following:

  1. Switch between windows in the remote session using Alt+Tab.
  2. Switch between local workspaces using either the default Ctrl+F1 or what I've switched it to, my preferred Alt+F1.

It seems if I use the -K option, I get 2 but not 1. If I don't, I get 1 but not 2. Is there no way to do this? How can I tell rdesktop to send or not send a specific key combination?

Use KRDC. You can switch on the fly at runtime between interpreting e.g. AltTab for the local or remote desktop. The switch can be triggered via a menu item, a toolbar icon or a (perhaps global) key shortcut.

  • Right, so you still have that extra step, same with rdesktop. Is there a to tell KRDC to gobble only Alt+Tab?

  • Meh, I just disabled global Alt+Tab, it works for what I need at this point, even though it's not quite what I was looking for. Thanks for your help.
